What Is Rhinoplasty?
The philosophy of an outstanding rhinoplasty procedure follows the idea that subtle changes bring ideal results. Also called a nose job, this procedure aims to make adjustments to the structures of the nose to achieve a more harmonious aesthetic. There is no single perfect shape to a nose, so the procedure focuses on bringing out what looks best on you to balance your facial aesthetic as a whole.
It’s not about making a nose bigger or smaller, wider or thinner. It is about giving each patient access to a procedure that brings out their personal best. Dr. Sykes uses his extensive experience and in-depth understanding of facial harmony to deliver fully individualized, tailored results. With a single surgical procedure, you can achieve a lifetime of results that match your true self and ideal aesthetic.

What Happens During Rhinoplasty Surgery?
Dr. Sykes provides a rhinoplasty experience that is wholly focused on your individual characteristics and features, matching any changes to enhance your beauty. With this in mind, we work closely with you to tailor each aspect of your procedure plan, building it from the ground up. Dr. Sykes uses a variety of techniques, including the closed or endonasal approach and the open approach. He aims to perform the procedure using the smallest incision and least amount of dissection, prioritizing the proper technique for your specific needs.
Your nose job in Beverly Hills will start with an anesthetic, ensuring you stay comfortable for the entire operation. Dr. Sykes then proceeds to implement each aspect of your agreed-upon plan. He carefully reshapes the structures of your nose to match your target aesthetic, making hidden incisions to prevent visible scarring. A typical nose surgery lasts about two hours but can be shorter or longer, depending on your unique plan. Once your rhinoplasty is finished, you can return home with someone to drive you the same day and begin resting.

The Rhinoplasty Recovery Process
Every nose surgery in Beverly Hills with Dr. Sykes is adapted to the patient, so the recovery can vary slightly. Patients with more minor changes can expect shorter recovery, while more extensive procedures may require a longer recovery. Still, our patients can expect about two weeks of average downtime. This is the time to take off from work and your usual routine so you can focus on healing. Patients can expect some pain and swelling after rhinoplasty, but we can help you manage these through proper medication and recovery techniques. It is also customary to come in for a checkup appointment so Dr. Sykes can ensure your nose is healing as expected. After the first week, Dr. Sykes will remove any casts, splints, or sutures.

Rhinoplasty Healing Timeline
Dr. Sykes and his team proudly serve the Beverly Hills and Sacramento areas, having performed thousands of successful rhinoplasties. With decades of experience in this specialized procedure, Dr. Sykes possesses extensive knowledge that allows him to guide his patients through the healing journey. His team will provide comprehensive instructions for post-surgery care and best practices to ensure optimal results in the shortest possible timeframe.
Here is our timeline outline on what to expect:
Day of Surgery
On the day of your rhinoplasty, you will receive general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once the surgery is finished, you will be discharged the same day, provided your medical team has determined that you are ready to go home. To help mitigate swelling, it is important to apply ice packs as directed by your surgeon.
You will receive specific instructions on how and where to use them. If any topical ointments are required post-surgery, your doctor will inform you of the proper application methods. Additionally, if you have nasal drip pads or packing materials, you will need to change them according to your doctor’s guidelines. For optimal recovery, aim to sleep elevated in a chair during the first night and for as long as swelling persists.
1 Week After Rhinoplasty
During your one-week follow-up, your surgeon will remove any non-dissolvable sutures, staples, and any splints or protective coverings from your nose. While you may still notice some residual swelling, breathing should feel much more comfortable. The changes in your nose’s shape will start to become noticeable. Any bruising around the nose and eyes may have started to change color, allowing for easier coverage with makeup. Touch sensitivity may linger, but overall discomfort is typically minimal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers.
2 Weeks After Rhinoplasty
By the two-week mark, you will likely see a significant reduction in swelling, and bruising should have largely faded away. The new contour of your nose will be clearer, as the swelling continues to decrease. In some cases, your surgeon may suggest fine-tuning techniques, such as specific taping or massage, although these are often unnecessary. At this stage, you will probably not require any additional in-office appointments and will be ready to resume most daily activities.
3-4 Weeks After Rhinoplasty
As you approach the three to four-week point, most visible signs of surgery will have diminished, and you can safely reintegrate cardio exercises into your routine. Your nose shape will become increasingly defined, allowing you to gain a clearer sense of your final results. You may have another follow-up appointment within this timeframe for your surgeon to evaluate your healing progress.
6 Weeks After Rhinoplasty
By six weeks, your nasal structure will have stabilized. You will be able to return to more vigorous activities, wear eyeglasses comfortably, and blow your nose if needed.
3-6 Months After Rhinoplasty
During this period, any lingering sensations or discomfort in the nose area or its skin should resolve, leading to a more natural feeling.
1 Year After Rhinoplasty
At the one-year mark, your healing journey will be complete. Any cartilage that was repositioned will have fully adapted to its new form. All swelling will have subsided, revealing the refined appearance of your nose.

When Can I See the Results From My Los Angeles Rhinoplasty?
It is important to remember that even though the changes are immediate, it can take some time for your final results to show. It can take several weeks or more for the swelling to go down entirely, affecting your nose’s appearance. Once that swelling is gone, you can enjoy the permanent benefits of your nose procedure! As the actual structures of the nose have been changed, you will not need to worry about your results fading with time. However, age or injuries can still gradually change your face, so a healthy and safe lifestyle can help you enjoy your new nose for your entire life.
Complementary Procedures
The main procedure that complements a rhinoplasty is an augmentation of the chin. Dr. Sykes advises chin augmentation for patients who have a small chin. However, some patients have prominent chins, and he can do chin reduction at the same time as rhinoplasty, contouring the chin to balance the features. Of course, patients can ask for anything to be done simultaneously, such as a brow lift, a facelift, or blepharoplasty, all of which can be performed at the same time as rhinoplasty without any negative consequences.
